Two Privates, Arthur Wild and Herbert Crimmins go out for a few drinks the night before a huge battle at The Somme, the pair miss The Early morning parade, and face some severely harsh consequences.
As with the previous story, it's another frontline war story, one that highlights the true misery and horrors, you can only imagine what those men must have seen and heard, when Wild recounts the story of what he discovered, it's incredibly sad. What it must have done to The British soldiers that had to deal with them, heaven only knows.
I found this and the previous a little odd, great stories, but the premise of the show being suspicious circumstances, I'm not white sure either truly fitted into the category.
Amazing how it took so long for shellshock to be recognised, I wonder how many brave men from that huge tally were suffering.
Were Wild and Crimmins just two wild spirits, or just two men trying to get through the miseries of The Second World War, suffering from shellshock or some other recognised condition? Two very interesting men, two men who were once again made an example out of.
As with the previous, it's so well made, and again I'd say better than so much of today's content.
8/10.
